After switching to winter tires I can never go back. I got some summer tires to replace the all seasons I was using in summer time and they’re also amazing, but not as amazing as the winters in winter time.
Well I drive like a dingus and owning a Subaru I love driving out in the snow so to me it’s worth it. If you drive like a normal person and don’t purposefully go out in the snow then (good) all seasons are fine.
The ride is softer on both the summers (Pilot sport 4s) and sooo much softer on the winters (blizzaks) it also probably helps that my winters are on 17s when my summers are 18s. Grip in the snow is unreal with the winters too.
If there is a lot of snow, winter tires are far superior to all weather when driving in snow both for starting and stopping. Like being able to stop in half the distancenor move without spinning wheels.
I don’t think there is a huge difference for icy conditions.
I live in Kansas and we don’t get snow that lasts long enough to make winter tires worthwhile in my opinion, but if I lived in Colorado I would definitely get them.

Is the difference really this huge?

Depends on the winter weather.
